I've been having a few ongoing issues lately and the Dr had me do some xrays a few weeks ago. As nothing was found on that, I was sent in for an MRI.
This was my first experience with one. I know many people don't like them - but I actually found it relaxing! I think I may have nodded off as well.
I did find the noises a bit, uh, nostalgic? To me, the machinery sounded like 90's underground techno rave music. :D
Can't track fitness without having some metrics to quantify. The two markers I'll be using (at least to start with) are overall weight and waist size.
Overall weight can be a bit misleading due to factors like hydration level, meals and the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. So I'm mainly just tracking that as an easy marker. Before the holidays, my "official" weight was 83.52kg (I had a medical assessment). The best time to weigh oneself is at the same time each day, and in the morning is probably best, before a meal.
Weight: 86kg
Waist: ??cm
Note to self: get a cloth measuring tape!
Also, just got back from holidays, so my weight is going to have gone up anyway due to holiday calories and lack of proper structured exercise.
Only just got back and it would be easy to just pike out since it is after noon, we've been travelling all day and we're tired... but no time like the present!
Well, not coughing as much - so that's a good thing. Still feeling it in the mornings and at night when it gets cold. Can't wait to go north again where it's warm - and where my family is. <3
Still have the nagging cough. Doesn't flare up too much during the day, it's mostly at night when it gets cooler. I'm sure all the dust I'm breathing in isn't helping! With all the vehicles rolling around here, we kick up one heck of a dust cloud.
Keeping the air filters clean is an ongoing struggle....
Blargh... hate having a drippy, snotty nose. :(
At least I should be able to get a little rest today, maybe. Hopefully.
Bit of a scary time at the hospital but have the wife home again. Very glad she is safe, if a bit worse for wear.
Generally not good when you have trouble with your feet. You tend to use them a lot. Have an issue with one of my feet and it makes it a liite uncomfortable to walk. Got an appointment set up to get it checked out.
The 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing is tomorrow. Very poigniant to be over here at this time. Was hoping to be part of commemorations but been assigned elsewhere for work.
Broke a tooth earlier today. Managed to get in to the dentist who put a temporary repair in but it'll need a proper fix at some stage.
Feeling pretty bummed out at the moment, not sure why...
